The centre-back played in the 2022 Carabao Cup and Emirates FA Cup finals, as well as last season’s Carabao Cup showpiece – with the Reds coming out on top against Chelsea on all three of those occasions.
This afternoon, they will seek to retain the trophy they won in unforgettably dramatic fashion a year ago when they face Newcastle United, with Konate explaining his excitement to be returning to Wembley.
The France international told Liverpoolfc.com: “I’m very happy to go there again – what a stadium – and everyone who was there for the last final there can realise how the fans, how the atmosphere, will be. I’m very happy to go again.
“When you win a trophy with Liverpool it’s just unbelievable. I have so many memories, all my family do as well, when we talk about the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup because I have just won these two competitions.
“But when you see the stands at the end of the game, you just have no words to describe what you can see and yes, it’s good to have this again.”
